Is there a soft independent brush head for good hardwood floors?

Thanks for the email and the great question :) For hardwood floors you have 2 options. 1. You can simply turn off the power head motor and use straight suction from the vacuum. or 2. You can attach the included hardwood floor tool that's designed to be used on all hard floors. Let us know if you have any other questions :) Thanks Dustin Great-Vacs (seller)

The best way I found is with a vacuum that has a hose attachment and use the soft brush attachment and that should do a pretty good job.

Really good. I don't think it's totally clear in the description that there are two different heads for the vacuum. One for hardwoods and one for carpets. I think they both work really well three levels of section really help

I have hardwood floors as well as Pergo floors. It works beautifully and picks up easily without a mark!

The standard brush is fine and I used it for six months. However, I also found it a little hard on the wood flooring so I purchased the Parquett Twister SBB 300-3. Most of my floors are tile but I do have some sections of carpets and wood flooring. The original brush is still best for tile and carpets but this Twister is ideal for wood flooring and does an excellent job.Highly recommended.

I have the Easy Clean - actually 2 of them (1 at our vacation home). You can definitely use it without the brushes revolving. There's a setting on the on/off switch for turning the brushes on/off.

Good on carpet but no way to make the brushes stop so you can do hardwood floors. I got the Hoover Floormate for that.

I have hardwood floors in ~ 780 sq ft home with a dog and no stairs. My hoover now sits in a corner lonely. Roomba does a near perfect job. I bought low profile rugs specifically with Roomba in mind so it can climb up them. Runs 3 times a week.

I think so! We have hardwood with some area rugs and it's been our sole vacuum for just about a month. We'll likely need to pull out the Electrolux just to vacuum off the bricks on our woodstove hearth, but I really can't fault the Roomba for not getting in the deep mortar joints on our brick work. We were thinking about picking up a small handheld vac (like the Shark 12 volt) to make such brick work and stairs a breeze.

The brushes are different, esp the soft brush is very useful for dusting sensitive furniture etc. The flexible crevice tool is great for getting into small spaces like the sides of the refrigerator etc. I have not used the mattress tool yet.

I have all hard wood floors, but my brush bar got tangled up and stopped spinning (even after removing hair and fuzz from bristles) after about 10 uses.

I have never replaced mine but I am sure you can buy replacements from Amazon that is where I would look first Then I would do an internet search. My brushes are holding up very well on wood floors if you need to clean brushes I would use a rag dampened with mineral spirits in a well ventilated room.

a soft brush tool and a tool for getting into tight places. The two fit nicely on the docking station. I admit that the cleaner is best for low pile area rugs and hardwood floors and tile. It's for quick jobs and does an awesome job. I still get out the big boy to vacuum the carpets. It doesn't bother me at all that I have to hold the trigger..It wakes moving from one area to the next quieter .

You can purchase the turbo brush but I have not done that since I have vinyl and hardwood floors.Hope this helps.

There is not a separate attachment that I am aware of. The lowest setting works fine on bare floors. The direction of the brushing coupled with the suction works well. I haven't noticed any problem.

The brush head is not powered so it is not suited for carpet. Bare floors is what it is best for.

Hi the brushes for the combination carpet/hard flooring nozzle are soft enough that they will not scratch any surface. If you want you can always get the hardwood floor attachment which is made of horsehair bristles, which are firm but gentle cleaning of your hard flooring surfaces. hope this helps.
